Top Matsukawa Gorge Hotel Reviews

Shibu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I truly enjoyed my stay at this Ryokan. The omotenashi (Japanese hospitality) was outstanding from the arrangement of the pick-up at the train station, to the staff having my bags picked upon arrivals and take them to my room while I checked in, to the quality of the traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast included, and let’s not forget about the onsens! They offer an outdoor and and indoor private onsen that you can book in advance for half hour, a huge public outdoor/indoor onsen that you can use anytime from 3pm to 9am, as well as access to all 9 public onsens in the town which you need a key to access. It was fun to do a pilgrimage through all wearing the yukata and wood sandals (be aware that water is usually extremely hot in these!). I also appreciated to know that you are allowed to all this onsens if you have tattoos. The hotel also offers drop-off/pick-up shuttle to the snow monkey park, which I did after checking out and they brought my bags when picking me up to take me to the train station. All in all, a marvelous experience that I will cherish for life."

Hotel Hoshikawakan

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed the dinner meal even though I made a rookie hot pot mistake."

Urakusatsu Tou

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent, minutes walk to restaurants, shopping, Yubatake and Sainokawara Park. The room was spotless and the staff was so helpful. The on-site onsen (female side) was boiling hot! The only minor inconvenience was that cars were parked offsite so you needed to coordinate with staff each time you needed your vehicle."

KAMENOI HOTEL KUSATSU YUBATAKE

8/10 Good

"Rooms are plain but clean. Excellent buffet food value. Nice common facilities."

Kusatsu Onsen Hotel Sakurai

8/10 Good

"The property was nice and modern. All amenities were in working order. Location is further from center of town. The town is also deserted, almost. Nothing really around. Onsen water is nice as well as the low temperature sauna."

Rakuten STAY VILLA Kusatsu Onsen

10/10 Excellent

"Great venue and facilities."

Shibu Onsen KOKUYA

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely friendly staff that were happy to show us through and explain the amenities in perfect English. The meals were beautiful visually and so tasty. Definitely recommend this onsen."

Shimaya

10/10 Excellent

"While this is an older hotel, it is clean, things are in working order, and rather charming and unique. For example, I had a large room with a small patio that offered a beautiful view of the city. It’s in a quaint quiet town with gorgeous views of the mountains surrounding the town. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of hot green tea. The thermos amazingly kept the water hot even till the next morning. Because I went during « low » season in May, I was able to enjoy the onsen to myself ! The host/owner is a sweet man. It is rather expensive for one night but I did not regret my stay. I did get plenty of exercise being on the fourth floor with no elevator."

Club Wyndham Shirakabaso Shigakogen
